It's not a bug, it's supposed to work that way. The behavior can be 
changed by:
sh-4.0# PATH=$PATH:.

Assuming that it's a Bourne shell or bash. This sets the current 
directory into the search path for executables. If it's not there you 
have to specify a full or relative path for the executable.
